More data on FRA 19 / Info from the current owner Gurvan Jaouen - 25.09.2007 by Kaspar Stubenrauch: FRA 19 is currently named "Korrigan", she is a design from H. Copponex of 1961. She was built by Corsier-Port under the name of "Gilliat
VII" for Mr Cadot, a breton sailer who previously owned the first built 5,5 "Gilliat IV" (5.5 - F 1). "Korrigan" was his last 5,5 boat. Her second (or third?) owner re-nammed her "Limbé", and sailed for times in the south of France and Monaco. The following one, Mr Lebeau brought her back sailing in Brittany
and sold to me in 2004. F 19 is her original sail number. Gurvan Jaouen
